NoneOne day, when actor and comedian Rosie O'Donnell was in her 50s, her body ached and her arms felt sore, but she pushed through the pain, not realizing she was having a massive heart attack. She had surgery to put in a stent that saved her life. Shortly after her 2012 heart attack, O'Donnell shared her experience on her blog. During her 2015 television standup special, she spoke about how the experience changed her life. The segment included a heart attack acronym the comedian coined: HEPPP (hot, exhausted, pain, pale, puke). O'Donnell's candidness about her heart attack helped spread awareness about how it can present differently in women. She's one of countless celebrities over the years who have opened up about their health conditions, including breast cancer, HIV, depression, heart disease and stroke. When celebrities reveal and discuss their health issues, the impact can be far-reaching. It not only helps to educate the public, but it also can reduce stigma and inspire others. "Health disclosures by celebrities do matter, and we know this from decades of research across a lot of different health conditions and public figures," said Dr. Jessica Gall Myrick, a professor of health communication at Pennsylvania State University in University Park. "They absolutely do influence people." Some of the earliest celebrity health disclosures happened in the 1970s and 1980s with U.S. presidents and first ladies. When first lady Betty Ford was diagnosed with breast cancer just weeks after Gerald Ford became president in 1974, she spoke openly about her diagnosis, inviting photographers into the White House and helping make talk of cancer less taboo. In 1987, first lady Nancy Reagan used her breast cancer diagnosis as a chance to advocate for women to get mammograms. Her disclosure came two years after President Ronald Reagan's colon cancer diagnosis, about which the couple was equally as vocal. "Individuals throughout the country have been calling cancer physicians and information services in record numbers," the Los Angeles Times reported after Nancy Reagan's widely publicized surgery. The public showed a similar interest years earlier following Betty Ford's mastectomy. Another major milestone in celebrity health disclosures came in 1991, when 32-year-old NBA superstar Earvin "Magic" Johnson revealed he had tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. "Life is going to go on for me, and I'm going to be a happy man," Johnson assured fans during a news conference. He immediately retired, only to return to the Los Angeles Lakers in 1996. His disclosure, along with his work as an advocate for safe sex, helped shatter stigmas around HIV and AIDS. Calls to testing centers increased significantly in the days and weeks after Johnson's announcement. "That celebrity disclosure really helped people see there was a wider susceptibly to HIV," Gall Myrick said. "People were more likely to say, 'I need to think about my own risks.' It was very powerful." When it comes to heart and stroke health, President Dwight Eisenhower helped make heart attacks less frightening and mysterious. During a news conference in 1955, millions of Americans learned from the president's doctors about his heart condition, his treatment, and concrete steps they could take to reduce their own heart attack risk. Other notable figures have shared their health experiences over the years. Soap opera legend Susan Lucci , who was diagnosed with heart disease in 2018, has advocated for women's heart health. Basketball great Kareem Abdul Jabbar talks about his irregular heartbeat, known as atrial fibrillation, and advocates for regular health screenings. Lawyer, author and television personality Star Jones continues to speak about heart disease risk after having lifesaving heart surgery in 2010. Longtime TV and radio personality Dick Clark brought stroke and aphasia into the national spotlight when he returned to hosting "New Year's Rockin' Eve" in Times Square just a year after his 2004 stroke and continued until his death in 2012. And actor and comedian Jamie Foxx recently revealed he had a stroke last year. "Celebrity disclosures represent teachable moments," said Dr. Seth M. Noar, director of the Communicating for Health Impact Lab at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. "Searches for different health conditions often spike in the wake of these types of announcements. They cause people to think about these health issues, learn more about them, and in some cases change their behaviors." Celebrities have also highlighted the importance of CPR and the use of an automated external defibrillator, or AED, to restore a person's heartbeat if they experience cardiac arrest. Interest in CPR and AEDs spiked in 2023 after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest during an NFL game broadcast on national TV. Views of the American Heart Association's hands-only CPR pages jumped more than 600% in the days following Hamlin's cardiac arrest. Three months later, around 3 million people had watched the AHA's CPR video. Family members of celebrities who have died from a heart issue have also spread awareness. After actor John Ritter died of an undiagnosed aortic dissection in 2003, his wife, actor Amy Yasbeck, started the Ritter Foundation to raise awareness about the condition and help others avoid a misdiagnosis. A literature review published in Systematic Reviews in 2017 found that people are conditioned to react positively to celebrity advice. Research also has found that people often follow advice from celebrities who match how they perceive – or how they want to perceive – themselves. The most effective celebrity disclosures are frequently the ones that tell a compelling story and include clear steps people can take to apply lessons the celebrity learned to their own health situation, Gall Myrick said. "People are more likely to take action when they feel confident and capable." Research has shown that celebrity disclosures often impact calls to hotlines and page views on health-related websites, and they can spark behavioral and even policy changes. Anecdotally, Gall Myrick said, people ask their doctor more questions about health conditions and request medical screenings. Celebrities can have a big impact because people tend to have parasocial relationships with them, Gall Myrick said. These are one-sided relationships in which a person feels an emotional connection with another person, often a celebrity. People may feel as if they know the basketball player they've watched on the court for years, or the Hollywood actor they've followed, she said. They want to comfort them after a health disclosure. Social media has only increased this feeling of familiarity, as celebrities regularly share mundane – but fascinating – details of their daily lives, like what they eat for breakfast, their favorite socks, or the meditation they do before bed. "We spend a lifetime being exposed to celebrities through the media, and over time, you get to know these public figures," Gall Myrick said. "Some feel like friendships." A study published in the journal Science Communication in 2020 compared reactions to actor Tom Hanks, who had COVID-19 early in the pandemic, and an average person with COVID-19. Researchers found that participants identified more with Hanks when it came to estimating their own susceptibility to COVID-19. The participants also felt more emotional about the virus that causes COVID-19 when thinking about it in relation to Hanks versus an average person. When a celebrity reveals a health condition, it's a surprise that may feel personal, especially if they are well-liked and the health issue is dramatic and sudden. "We feel like we know them, and the emotional response is what can then push people out of their routine," Gall Myrick said. Noar said a celebrity health story is often a more interesting and powerful way to learn about a health condition than just the facts, which can feel overwhelming. People are drawn to the slew of media coverage that typically follows a celebrity disclosure, he said. "Some of these high-visibility public figures' stories are now woven into some of these illnesses," Noar said. For example, Angelina Jolie is often linked to the BRCA1 gene mutation after the actor shared she had a preventive double mastectomy because of her elevated breast cancer risk and had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed because of her increased risk for ovarian cancer. "It's a narrative, a story that humanizes the condition in a way that very informational communication really doesn't," Noar said. "People remember it, and it can potentially be a touch point." After a disclosure, patients may bring up a celebrity's story during a doctor's appointment and connect it to their own care. Today's multiplatform digital culture only amplifies celebrity messages. "You're seeing everyday people react to these events, and that can have a ripple effect too," Gall Myrick said. "We know from research that seeing messages more than once can be impactful. Often it's not just one billboard or one commercial that impacts behavior; it's the drip drip drip over time." Still, there's a cautionary tale to be told around the impact of celebrity health news, especially if the celebrity has died. An unclear cause of death may lead to speculation. Gall Myrick said that guesswork could potentially end up hurting rather than helping if patients were to act on misinformation or a lack of information. "Maybe the death was atypical or it needs more context," she said. "That's where advocacy groups and public health organizations come in. They need to be prepared for announcements or disclosures about celebrity deaths, and to fill in some of those gaps." American Heart Association News covers heart and brain health.

Luke Humphries stormed into the fourth round of the World Darts Championship with a straight-sets win over Nick Kenny, on the same night Gerwyn Price triumphed in a thrilling final-leg decider against Joe Cullen. World No 1 Humphries won nine of the last 10 legs and averaged 98.59 in powering to a 4-0 victory over Kenny, setting up a corker of a last-16 clash between the defending champion and two-time winner Peter Wright. Wright, despite visibly battling illness, put in arguably his best performance of a difficult 2024 when beating Jermaine Wattimena 4-2. World Darts Championship: Day 10 Evening Results Price overcomes Cullen despite 'Big Fish' in epic finish Earlier, Price came through a remarkable opening match against Cullen in which he coughed up a 3-0 lead in sets and spurned three match darts while being broken three times when throwing for the match. Two of those missed match darts preceded an incredible 170 ' Big Fish ' finish from Cullen - only a second for the tournament - that levelled the final set at 5-5 and forced a sudden-death leg. Trending It was 2021 winner Price, however, who would finally secure his spot in the fourth round with a seventh-straight break of throw as he finally found tops with his fourth match dart, setting up a meeting with fellow Welshman Jonny Clayton next.

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player In the evening's second match, Wright produced a performance that belied his health struggles, 'Snakebite' apologetically denying the crowd his trademark walk-on dance moves before coughing his way through his win over Wattimena. The 2020 and 2022 champion averaged an impressive 96.19, and while Wattimena himself was up at 96.50, it was Wright who delivered in the key moments to keep the Dutchman at bay. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player He will now face Humphries in the next round who, despite not producing his very best darts, made light work of Kenny in the final contest of Friday night. The reigning champion stole the first set with a final-leg break of throw after a costly Kenny missed dart at double 16, while he was broken to start the second but any thoughts of a closely-contested battle were swiftly put to bed as Humphries reeled off nine of the next 10 legs - including a 145 checkout in the fourth set. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Humphries relishing Wright clash | 'So much more to give' "It was one of those games where I didn't want to take it for granted," Humphries said. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player "I wasn't firing. I felt there was so much more to give, it just wasn't coming out of me, but a solid performance. As long as I can keep winning every set, no sets lost, is all that matters. "I'm not going to give up this world title without a fight. It's not my best, but when someone pushes me I know I can provide the goods." Looking ahead to his meeting with Wright, Humphries added: "He said a few things in the last round. He said Barney [Raymond van Barneveld] was going to smash me and that he was going to smash Jermaine [Wattimena]. "He said he don't fear me and Luke Littler, so we'll see when we play again." Bunting cruises into fourth round after Heta hits nine-darter in defeat In the afternoon session, Stephen Bunting cruised into the fourth round with victory over Latvia's Madars Razma, while Damon Heta threw a sensational nine-darter in defeat to Luke Woodhouse. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Bunting is one of the dark horses for the tournament, particularly as half of the original 32 seeds are already out, and he saw off Razma 4-1 despite not being at his best. World Darts Championship: Day 10 Afternoon Results The former Lakeside champion - whose previous best run at Alexandra Palace came in 2021 when reaching the semi-finals - will play Woodhouse next after he roared back from 3-1 down, rattling off nine legs on the spin to beat Heta 4-3 and reach the last 16 for the first time in his career. The first match after the short Christmas break saw Heta produce the second perfect leg at this year's tournament, sending the Ally Pally crowd into raptures during the second set - Woodhouse also celebrating wildly in a special moment. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Dutchman Christian Kist made the first perfect leg in the opening round last week and also lost his match.

ZAYN Malik has returned to the stage for his first gig since the tragic death of ex-One Direction bandmate Liam Payne. Earlier this week, Liam was laid to rest a month after he fell to his death from a balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Tonight, Zayn kicked off his tour, named Stairway To The Sky, in Leeds in front of thousands at the 02 Academy. The star wore a red cap and a hlack t-shirt with rapper Tupac on the front. Adoring fans waved their phones in the air with their flashlights on as Zayn serenaded the crowd. The tour was due to begin in Edinburgh on November 20 but was delayed after the death and funeral of Liam. Zayn was also due to perform in San Francisco, California, on October 23, before playing several more US dates throughout the month and in November but these dates have now been rescheduled. It comes as Zayn gathered alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan to say goodbye to Liam at his funeral on Wednesday. It was the first public appearance Zayn has made with the group since he left the band in 2015. The pop star left One Direction, citing "stress," after withdrawing from the group's world tour. Liam and Zayn found fame together as members of One Direction back in 2010, alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan. The group became an international phenomenon, with hits including Kiss You, What Makes You Beautiful and Night Changes. As news of Liam's heartbreaking loss spread around the world, the band released a statement together, before they each made their own separate tributes. Zayn shared a picture of him and Liam cuddled up together in the back of the car as he reflected on their friendship and the time they spent together. He wrote: "Liam I have found myself talking out loud to you, hoping you can hear me, I can't help but think selfishly that there was so many more conversations for us to have in our lives. "I never got to thank you for supporting me through some of the most difficult times in my life. "When I was missing home as a 17-year-old kid, you would always be there with a positive outlook and reassuring smile and let me know you were my friend and that I was loved." He added: "When it came to the music, Liam, you were the most qualified in every sense. "I knew nothing in comparison, I was a novice child with no experience and you were already a professional. "I lost a brother when you left us and can't explain to you what I'd give to just give you a hug one last time and say goodbye to you properly. "I will cherish all the memories I have with you in my heart forever". Liam is survived by his family, including his sister Ruth, and his seven-year-old son, Bear. SHOCKED fans, former co-workers, loved ones and friends flooded social media with sad tributes to Liam Payne after news of his death emerged.

Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden shared an image of the pair together with the words: "Such an awful tragedy. "Sending love to his family and all those who loved him." X Factor star Olly Murs told fans he was "devastated" and "lost for words". He wrote on social media: “Liam shared the same passions as me, the same dreams so to see his life now end so young hits hard, I’m truly gutted and devastated for his Family and of course his son Bear losing a dad x". Liam Gallagher said he was "very sad" and told his followers on X: "Life is precious Kids, you only get to do it once, go easy." Former X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary has also expressed his shock and spoke on This Morning. He said: “I remember him as a 14-year-old turning up to audition on The X Factor, and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing. “He was always a joy, had time for everyone, polite, grateful, and was always humble.” BBC Radio 2 presenter Zoe Ball reacted to the "devastating news" on her show and told fans she hugged her own son Woody tight this morning. JLS band member Marvin Humes reflected on his memories with the singer, sharing: "I first met Liam in 2008 with the JLS boys whilst auditioning for X Factor..he was 14 years old.. "We instantly clicked and looked at him as a little brother..that year it worked out for us but not for him and then 2 years later he went back to audition and One Direction was born..the rest is history.. "Absolutely heartbroken by the tragic news..Liam you wanted to be a global superstar and you did it bro..just can’t believe that things have ended this way..it’s shocking..my thoughts and prayers are with all your family and friends brother..RIP." Niall Horan's brother Greg shared an emotional tribute to Liam, praising him as a "top young man". He added: "You will be forever missed. Liam, words can’t describe how much I want to grab my brother and mind him now while the world shows their memories of you and him and the boys. "My heart goes out to your family parents and sisters and your son Bear and your 1D brothers. "10th October we met and we started out that evening as 5 families into one big one 1D family thank you for all the laughs bro watch down on all your family and mind them lots of love kiddo x x x 1D 4 LIFE x x x" German DJ Anton Zaslavski , otherwise known as Zedd , has taken to X with a devastated statement. The producer, who worked with Liam on his 2017 hit Get Low, wrote: "RIP Liam... I can’t believe this is real...absolutely heartbreaking..." American singer, Charlie Puth , who was friends with Liam and also collaborated with him on a song called Bedroom Floor, has posted a series of Instagram stories dedicated to him. Alongside photos of the two of them together in their younger days, Charlie wrote: "I am in shock right now. Liam was always so kind to me. "He was one of the first major artists I got to work with. I can not believe he is gone... "I am so upset right now, may he rest in peace. I am so sorry..." Irish singer duo Jedward also took to social media, saying: "RIP Liam Payne. Condolences to friends and family." In another tweet, they added: "Sending strength to Cheryl and his son Bear. And all the One direction Family. RIP Liam Payne." American media personality Paris Hilton shared: "So upsetting to hear the news of Liam Payne passing. Sending love and condolences to his family & loved ones. RIP my friend." ITV weather presenter Alex Beresford shared a news video about Liam's tragic death on Instagram, adding: "Can't believe this! RIP Liam." Meanwhile Love Island star Molly Marsh penned: "I'm so taken aback, rest in peace." James Cordon also paid his own tribute, describing the star as a "loving and kind soul". The Gavin and Stacey actor wrote on Instagram: "Talking about Liam in the past tense is utterly heart-breaking. "I will treasure the moments I got to spend with him. My thoughts are with his family today x." Payne previously appeared on Cordon's The Late Late Show in America. Former Little Mix star Jade Thirwall - who won X Factor with her bandmates one year after One Direction took part - described him as "the first friend I made in this industry". She said: "We fell out of touch as the years went by, but back in 2008 he was the first friend I made in this industry. "Both of us so young, so ambitious, both hoping we'd 'make it'. I hope you are at peace now". Camila Cabello described his death as a "tragedy" and said he "made an impression" on her when she was a young girl.BOCA RATON, Fla.
